So is that it? The Democratic Senators will not be filibustering???

[hang a left]

I just don't get it. Why are they going to seat an impediment to impeaching ** when we when back congress. How are they going to seat someone who basically is the father of the Unitary Executive Theory. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY??? Has everyone gone over to the dark side?

1. If They Don't Filibuster, It's Because Daddy Warbucks Told Them Not To

The Golden Rule -- those with the gold rule.

2. From what I understand, RawStory got that info from STAFFERS, so

it really isn't FOR SURE yet, but, looks that way

7. You mean like when they thought Fitz had gotten an apartment?

Eh, I'll believe it when I see it. And if they don't name the staffer, then I'm not going with an anonymous source. Could be some disinformation.

8. Hold on and keep calling and faxing.....It ain't over yet.

3. Who has said they definitely WON'T?

I heard Reid saying yesterday he didn't think they would, but what about other Senators? Is it always up to the Senate Leader to lead the filibuster? Reid has shown flashes of spine but overall, I think he's an appeaser (he goes along to get along) ... Would it be impossible for a Senator who feels strongly enough to at least attempt a filibuster?

4. Do you have to announce a fillibuster

to fillibuster?


I want to hope.

5. If they don't filibuster, then Congress should just go home for good

Alito will see to it that they won't have any power anyway, so why should we continue to pay them?

HEY DEMS - If Alito gets on the SC, it's OVER! Don't you understand that? Life as we have known it in the USA for over 200 years will cease to exist because Democracy itself will cease to exist. The President will have all the power, make all the laws and answer to NO ONE! :grr: :scared:

6. Your post made me cringe....

9. Both Reid and Kennedy told reporters vote would be a "vote of conscience."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/20...

Democratic leaders indicated they will attack Alito's record as an appellate judge in the floor debate expected to extend to Friday or later. But they strongly hinted there will be no filibuster, a parliamentary tactic that conceivably could enable Democrats to block the confirmation in a 100-member chamber in which Republicans hold 55 seats.

Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) told reporters that each senator's decision on Alito is "a vote of conscience," a term used when the leadership does not press for party solidarity. Reid would not rule a filibuster in or out, but top Democratic staff aides said they saw little chance of one.

That does not bode at all well for the chances for a filibuster.
